I think Amazon is pushing people n°3 in the "Gray Zone" with this Kind of drm.

- people in n°1 never change, so for they don't exist any Problem with Drm

Nope, there's a fourth kind of reader.

* People who pay for very few of the books they read, because they USE THEIR LOCAL LIBRARY for ebook borrows. (And before ebooks, physical copy borrows.)

That's me. I pay for very few of my books, but use my library CONSTANTLY, pick up freebies FREQUENTLY, sometimes from Kobo/Amazon, other times direct from publishers or authors, and have no issue with visiting sites offering public domain books. I'm having a re-read of Swiss Family Robinson currently, courtesy of Gutenberg.org, where I also found out that Jules Verne apparently wrote a fan-fic sequel, which I'll have to investigate!
